How deep can you bury a story?

Postby FIVE-O-FAN » Sun Oct 23, 2016 8:30 am

If you're on ESPN.com, you have no idea that SMU beat Houton last night. Scroll to the bottom and tell me if you see anything on this game.

noticed the same thing! it's ridiculous that there was nothing on ESPN Dallas. Just a single tweet / video on the right-hand side. pathetic.

Cubs securing a WS birth for the first time since the 40s didn't help either.

Totally understand that there are other stories that trump ours. But no mention on the college football page seems a little crazy.

About 2am, ESPN was doing a spot on SMU and the take away trash can. Then they highlighted the take aways in the game. At the end, he said, "Houston, they played like garbage right there." I laughed myself to sleep.

Even with their ranking Houston has gotten zero coverage on ESPN, and as SMU_Alum11 said on another thread the Cubs going to the World Series and the Ohio State upset dominated the headlines.

We did get a "wire report" in the Star Telegram - a couple of sentences - page 14.

I don't think that many people even realized we had a game last night.

I think ESPN and all sports information networks EXPECTED SMU to beat Houston. That's why the game got few mentions. :lol:
